The posterior gastric artery, a branch of the splenic artery to the posterior gastric wall, was described for the first time by Walther in 1729. It was often recognized by many authors since, but consequently ignored by anatomical and surgical textbooks until its rediscovery and description by Suzuki et al. [Ann. Surg. 187: 134-136, 1978]. The incidence of the posterior gastric artery differs between 4 and nearly 100%. All authors describe posterior gastric regions being supplied by the posterior gastric artery, but sometimes also a branch running towards the superior pole of the spleen is cited. In our study of 104 corpses we found the posterior gastric artery with an incidence of 37.5%. In one third of these cases, a branch of the posterior gastric artery to the superior pole of the spleen was also detectable. Besides these results, the course of the posterior gastric artery to the corresponding organs and the importance of this vessel for the abdominal surgeon are discussed.
胃后动脉是脾动脉至胃后壁的分支，于1729年由瓦尔瑟首次描述。自那以后，许多作者经常提及它，但解剖学和外科学教科书却一直忽略了它，直到铃木等人再次发现并描述了它[《外科学年鉴》187: 134 - 136, 1978]。胃后动脉的发生率在4%至近100%之间。所有作者都描述胃后区域由胃后动脉供血，但有时也提到有一支动脉朝向脾上极走行。在我们对104具尸体的研究中，发现胃后动脉的发生率为37.5%。在其中三分之一的病例中，还可检测到胃后动脉至脾上极的分支。除了这些结果，还讨论了胃后动脉至相应器官的走行以及该血管对腹部外科医生的重要性。
